September is going to amazing for so many different reasons. I'm most excited for "Wide Eyed". I have been waiting for Deakin's solo and now here it is! It sounded amazing at Pitchfork and is my favorite live song for Centipede. And I love the way AC announced this news.

The difference between us and CA, is how many people they have and how much they post! There CHZ topic already has 145 posts! I mean it kinda feels like we can't get excited over here about anything.
Hopefully some new folks can join and talk about the new album!

Yes indeed folks, I found this on Facebook just before I was going to class. Animal Collective made me ten minutes late! Damn you sweet sweet Animal Collective!
@Fishy - I don't know about you, but I'm super pumped! PUMPED. Let us not compare ourselves to the CAers, or as I shall now call them. the KoRNers.

I lol'd when you said KoRners!
Yeah, I always know we aren't the same, but sometimes I just wish we would discuss Animal Collective stuff more often. I mean i'm fine talking about other stuff but I think some people wish we could talk more AC (at least we can talk AC and not KoRn).

Great titles! Monkey Riches! Amanita! Yes!
I think that's marvelous that there are already 145 people posting on CA about Centipede Hz. We're two very different sites filling different needs, and it's ok to go there to be psyched in a group format!
But seriously, let's just keep this about Centipede.

Individual songs, past albums, samples, favorite styles of AC songs, the members in general, live stuff, etc.
I'm not sure how many people would want to do this because no one has revived an old thread like that and i'm thinking if I should revive one, but it seems not many people on here want to talk about it in that way.
But hey, we still can talk CHZ in the meantime.

So are people speculating that "Wide Eyed" is the one with Deakin on vocals? The song formerly known as "Change?" I was pulling for that one to make the album most. That and the one where Avey screams "c'mon n' lelelelelelele -LET GO!!!" Also, I'm glad Honeycomb and Gotham are not on the album, not because i didn't like them but because I now have no idea what the album will be like.

So super psyched. Peacey, don't compare us to CA. They have more people.
The song titles themselves are telling me this is going to be awesome. I can see this being a great mash between early AnCo and later AnCo. If you listen to Honeycomb and Gotham, there are definite Straw Jam and Spirit influences in it.
Oh boy. I hope one of these songs is just Avey screaming relentlessly. And I hope Geo has his own song.

Moondog: You really cracked me up there, yes, I think I may have cracked a laughing muscle (sarcasm)
It would be really cool if they named the album after this forum!
Sirs David, Noah, Josh, Brian, if you put the word "Kafkaesque" in any one of your songs or titles, I will be eternally in your debt and I will publicly proclaim to everyone with ears that Animal Collective are the greatest band of all time!

Is this the first sequence of Centipede Hz or the full sequence?
When do you think we will get the ACTUAL artwork and what will it be like? Music videos? Other promos? The process is so exciting since I didn't get this with any other AC album.
